Drabble : Objectivism
"Hey Eddie, how come mediums drink so much?"
"Defense mechanism. If you alter your consciousness enough you stop seeing dead people."
"Huh. I guess it gets pretty old, what with seeing the dear departed and whatnot?"
"Let me answer that with a story. About six months ago my cousin Alicia was harassed by the ghost of Ayn Rand for six months. She works at a local charity, and had to put up with the crazy bitch calling her a "servant of the parasitic masses" and other names every day. It finally got so bad she called one of her cogboy friends. He eventually made a containment cell and Alicia managed to trap her inside."
"Man. Ayn Rand is a bitch."
"Wait, it gets better. Before she used it, she had her cogboy friend create a memory matrix of every great socialist philosopher of the last century. So not only is she trapped, she's trapped with the likes of Karl Marx and Auguste Comte until she's let out."
"Your cousin has a nasty streak, man."
